Main

John Zobolas

I have a diverse background, from mathematics and computer science, to software engineering and modeling. My strongest quality is careful, analytical thinking. I like writing clean and test-driven software that enables technology-driven applications, as well as analyzing and visualizing research data to augment understanding of model-driven biological processes.
